Delete - It was a big deal in its time and place (San Antonio, Texas area). Due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the United States, compounded by other problems, the camp closed permanently in 2021. — Maile (talk) 19:19, 1 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Weak delete As well as the source referenced in the article, I have also found this article from the San Antonio Report about its closure. Two reliable sources, but all they really say about the camp itself is that it existed and that it's closing due to financial issues. The articles really touched me, it seems a real shame for the community to have lost such a valuable resource, but I don't think it passes the "significant" part of the GNG. pinktoebeans ^(talk) 20:00, 6 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Very Weak Delete. The other source for the closing looks to be A San Antonio Express News article. I also found a listing in Texas Outdoor Adventure Guide for Kids [1] which looks like fairly substantial coverage to me. A search of newspaper archives found plenty of routine coverage and some more substantial coverage that on closer inspection is YMCA generated content on sponsored pages (i.e. adds disguised as newspaper articles). Very little of the coverage available is both substantial and independent which is a definite shame. Eluchil404 (talk) 05:16, 7 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
